[TO APHRODITE]
Gentle Dame of Cyprus, be’st thou child of Zeus, or child of the sea, pray tell me why wast so unkind alike unto Gods and men – nay, I’ll say more, why so hateful unto thyself, as to bring forth so great and a mischief as this Love, so cruel, so heartless, so all unlike in ways and looks?
